You always hurt the ones who are near Bluffing your way through your own fear When it’s over and you see what you have done You have to face the music: there is no place to run I didn’t mean a thing, I was only having fun But you clipped someone’s wings and now they’re on the bum What is the answer? You’d better calm down There is enough going on, we don’t need another clown Now listen for wisdom; rededicate your goals Let the life of frivolity be lived by other fools. You can’t control them, but you can walk your own path You’re looking for some order not some other person’s wrath Appreciate the little things; listen for your call; Be aware of life’s wonder; know that you might fall Study what to do if that should be the case You pick yourself up and get back in the race Have respect for every soul: they all have the face of God Help out even when you’re struggling yourself It’s a description of part of your job Walk eagerly toward the goal you set Avoid the negative energy It’s the wrong kind to get Oh yes, you’re sorry and now you know your way You can make it up to all you’ve hurt; make it up day by day, This is for you; you know who I mean And it doesn’t matter if you’re a pirate, a pauper or a puppet, A poet, a pawn or a king. This life is full of mystery; things we’ll never understand So do the things that bring joy and a life that can be grand Many avoid the obvious and live just scratching the soil It is depth we want and complications; it nourishes the soul The path is what you are traveling so reach out and take His hand Wondrous things are awaiting you and not requiring your plan Stanski July 27, 2020 ^
